26 | Notational conventions in this document |
27 | --------------------------------------- | |
28 | ||
29 | Throughout this document, we use the following conventions in command | |
30 | examples: | |
31 | ||
32 | $ command Any line starting with a dollar sign | |
33 | ($) is a command line. | |
34 | ||
35 | { word1 | word2 | word3 } This denotes a mandatory choice, to be | |
36 | replaced with one of the given words. | |
37 | A simple example would be this: | |
38 | ||
39 | $ echo { FOO | BAR | COOKIE } | |
40 | ||
41 | which is to be understood as one of | |
42 | these: | |
43 | ||
44 | $ echo FOO | |
45 | - or - | |
46 | $ echo BAR | |
47 | - or - | |
48 | $ echo COOKIE | |
49 | ||
50 | [ word1 | word2 | word3 ] Similar to { word1 | word2 | word3 } | |
51 | except it's optional to give any of | |
52 | those. In addition to the examples | |
53 | above, this would also be valid: | |
54 | ||
55 | $ echo | |
56 | ||
57 | {{ target }} This denotes a mandatory word or | |
58 | sequence of words of some sort. A | |
59 | simple example would be this: | |
60 | ||
61 | $ type {{ filename }} | |
62 | ||
63 | which is to be understood to use the | |
64 | command 'type' on some file name | |
65 | determined by the user. | |
66 | ||
67 | [[ options ]] Similar to {{ target }}, but is | |
68 | optional. | |
69 | ||
70 | Note that the notation assumes spaces around {, }, [, ], {{, }} and | |
71 | [[, ]]. This is to differentiate from OpenVMS directory | |
72 | specifications, which also use [ and ], but without spaces. | |
73 | ||
4109b97c RE |
74 | Quick Start |
75 | ----------- | |
79e259e3 | 76 | |
4109b97c | 77 | If you want to just get on with it, do: |
79e259e3 | 78 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
79 | on Unix: |
80 | ||
81 | $ ./config | |
82 | $ make | |
83 | $ make test | |
84 | $ make install | |
85 | ||
86 | on OpenVMS: | |
87 | ||
88 | $ @config | |
89 | $ mms | |
90 | $ mms test | |
91 | $ mms install | |
79e259e3 | 92 | |
b32b8961 RL |
93 | on Windows (only pick one of the targets for configuration): |
94 | ||
95 | $ perl Configure { VC-WIN32 | VC-WIN64A | VC-WIN64I | VC-CE } | |
96 | $ nmake | |
97 | $ nmake test | |
8c16829e | 98 | $ nmake install |
b32b8961 | 99 | |
ea24fe29 | 100 | If any of these steps fails, see section Installation in Detail below. |
b1fe6b43 | 101 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
102 | This will build and install OpenSSL in the default location, which is: |
103 | ||
104 | Unix: normal installation directories under /usr/local | |
105 | OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'...], where 'version' is the | |
667c6bfe RL |
106 | OpenSSL version number with underscores instead of periods. |
107 | Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
108 | |
109 | If you want to install it anywhere else, run config like this: | |
79e259e3 | 110 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
111 | On Unix: |
112 | ||
113 | $ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl | |
114 | ||
115 | On OpenVMS: | |
116 | ||
117 | $ @config --prefix=PROGRAM:[INSTALLS] --openssldir=SYS$MANAGER:[OPENSSL] | |
79e259e3 | 118 | |
62f218cb RL |
119 | (Note: if you do add options to the configuration command, please make sure |
120 | you've read more than just this Quick Start, such as relevant NOTES.* files, | |
121 | the options outline below, as configuration options may change the outcome | |
122 | in otherwise unexpected ways) | |
123 | ||
b1fe6b43 UM |
124 | |
125 | Configuration Options | |
126 | --------------------- | |
127 | ||
2d99cee7 | 128 | There are several options to ./config (or ./Configure) to customize |
8c16829e RL |
129 | the build (note that for Windows, the defaults for --prefix and |
130 | --openssldir depend in what configuration is used and what Windows | |
131 | implementation OpenSSL is built on. More notes on this in NOTES.WIN): | |
2613c1fa | 132 | |
fa28bfd6 MC |
133 | --api=x.y.z |
134 | Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the | |
135 | specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will | |
136 | remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL | |
137 | version 1.1.0 or below. | |
462ba4f6 | 138 | |
fa28bfd6 MC |
139 | --cross-compile-prefix=PREFIX |
140 | The PREFIX to include in front of commands for your | |
85afea67 AP |
141 | toolchain. It's likely to have to end with dash, e.g. |
142 | a-b-c- would invoke GNU compiler as a-b-c-gcc, etc. | |
143 | Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to | |
144 | put together one-size-fits-all instructions. You might | |
145 | have to pass more flags or set up environment variables | |
146 | to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are | |
147 | discussed in corresponding Configurations/10-main.cf | |
148 | sections. But there are cases when this option alone is | |
149 | sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on | |
150 | Linux "--cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32-" | |
151 | works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are | |
152 | installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to | |
153 | install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along | |
154 | with corresponding run-time and development packages for | |
155 | "alien" hardware. To give another example | |
156 | "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices | |
157 | in such case. Needless to mention that you have to | |
158 | invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target | |
159 | name explicitly. | |
fa28bfd6 MC |
160 | |
161 | --debug | |
162 | Build OpenSSL with debugging symbols. | |
163 | ||
164 | --libdir=DIR | |
165 | The name of the directory under the top of the installation | |
166 | directory tree (see the --prefix option) where libraries will | |
167 | be installed. By default this is "lib". Note that on Windows | |
168 | only ".lib" files will be stored in this location. dll files | |
169 | will always be installed to the "bin" directory. | |
2acd8ec7 | 170 | |
ecabf05e MC |
171 | --openssldir=DIR |
172 | Directory for OpenSSL configuration files, and also the | |
d5957691 MC |
173 | default certificate and key store. Defaults are: |
174 | ||
667c6bfe | 175 | Unix: /usr/local/ssl |
8c16829e RL |
176 | Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL |
177 | or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL | |
667c6bfe | 178 | OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-COMMON] |
d5957691 | 179 | |
fa28bfd6 MC |
180 | --prefix=DIR |
181 | The top of the installation directory tree. Defaults are: | |
182 | ||
183 | Unix: /usr/local | |
184 | Windows: C:\Program Files\OpenSSL | |
185 | or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL | |
186 | OpenVMS: SYS$COMMON:[OPENSSL-'version'] | |
187 | ||
188 | --release | |
189 | Build OpenSSL without debugging symbols. This is the default. | |
190 | ||
191 | --strict-warnings | |
192 | This is a developer flag that switches on various compiler | |
193 | options recommended for OpenSSL development. It only works | |
194 | when using gcc or clang as the compiler. If you are | |
195 | developing a patch for OpenSSL then it is recommended that | |
196 | you use this option where possible. | |
197 | ||
198 | --with-zlib-include=DIR | |
199 | The directory for the location of the zlib include file. This | |
200 | option is only necessary if enable-zlib (see below) is used | |
201 | and the include file is not already on the system include | |
202 | path. | |
203 | ||
204 | --with-zlib-lib=LIB | |
205 | On Unix: this is the directory containing the zlib library. | |
206 | If not provided the system library path will be used. | |
207 | On Windows: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or | |
208 | without a path). This flag must be provided if the | |
209 | zlib-dynamic option is not also used. If zlib-dynamic is used | |
210 | then this flag is optional and a default value ("ZLIB1") is | |
a73d990e | 211 | used if not provided. |
fa28bfd6 MC |
212 | On VMS: this is the filename of the zlib library (with or |
213 | without a path). This flag is optional and if not provided | |
214 | then "GNV$LIBZSHR", "GNV$LIBZSHR32" or "GNV$LIBZSHR64" is | |
215 | used by default depending on the pointer size chosen. | |
d5957691 | 216 | |
a73d990e DMSP |
217 | |
218 | --with-rand-seed=seed1[,seed2,...] | |
219 | A comma separated list of seeding methods which will be tried | |
220 | by OpenSSL in order to obtain random input (a.k.a "entropy") | |
221 | for seeding its cryptographically secure random number | |
222 | generator (CSPRNG). The current seeding methods are: | |
223 | ||
224 | os: Use a trusted operating system entropy source. | |
225 | This is the default method if such an entropy | |
226 | source exists. | |
14879629 KR |
227 | getrandom: Use the L<getrandom(2)> or equivalent system |
228 | call. | |
a73d990e DMSP |
229 | devrandom: Use the the first device from the DEVRANDOM list |
230 | which can be opened to read random bytes. The | |
231 | DEVRANDOM preprocessor constant expands to | |
232 | "/dev/urandom","/dev/random","/dev/srandom" on | |
233 | most unix-ish operating systems. | |
234 | egd: Check for an entropy generating daemon. | |
235 | rdcpu: Use the RDSEED or RDRAND command if provided by | |
236 | the CPU. | |
237 | librandom: Use librandom (not implemented yet). | |
238 | none: Disable automatic seeding. This is the default | |
239 | on some operating systems where no suitable | |
240 | entropy source exists, or no support for it is | |
241 | implemented yet. | |
242 | ||
243 | For more information, see the section 'Note on random number | |
244 | generation' at the end of this document. | |
245 | ||
ecabf05e MC |
246 | no-afalgeng |
247 | Don't build the AFALG engine. This option will be forced if | |
248 | on a platform that does not support AFALG. | |
249 | ||
fa28bfd6 | 250 | enable-asan |
f430ba31 | 251 | Build with the Address sanitiser. This is a developer option |
fa28bfd6 MC |
252 | only. It may not work on all platforms and should never be |
253 | used in production environments. It will only work when used | |
254 | with gcc or clang and should be used in conjunction with the | |
255 | no-shared option. | |
256 | ||
ecabf05e | 257 | no-asm |
05328815 MC |
258 | Do not use assembler code. On some platforms a small amount |
259 | of assembler code may still be used. | |
ecabf05e MC |
260 | |
261 | no-async | |
262 | Do not build support for async operations. | |
d5957691 | 263 | |
ecabf05e MC |
264 | no-autoalginit |
265 | Don't automatically load all supported ciphers and digests. | |
d5957691 MC |
266 | Typically OpenSSL will make available all of its supported |
267 | ciphers and digests. For a statically linked application this | |
268 | may be undesirable if small executable size is an objective. | |
269 | This only affects libcrypto. Ciphers and digests will have to | |
270 | be loaded manually using EVP_add_cipher() and | |
ecabf05e MC |
271 | EVP_add_digest() if this option is used. This option will |
272 | force a non-shared build. | |
d5957691 | 273 | |
ecabf05e MC |
274 | no-autoerrinit |
275 | Don't automatically load all libcrypto/libssl error strings. | |
d5957691 MC |
276 | Typically OpenSSL will automatically load human readable |
277 | error strings. For a statically linked application this may | |
278 | be undesirable if small executable size is an objective. | |
279 | ||
dbabc862 BE |
280 | no-autoload-config |
281 | Don't automatically load the default openssl.cnf file. | |
282 | Typically OpenSSL will automatically load a system config | |
283 | file which configures default ssl options. | |
d5957691 | 284 | |
ecabf05e MC |
285 | no-capieng |
286 | Don't build the CAPI engine. This option will be forced if | |
287 | on a platform that does not support CAPI. | |
d5957691 | 288 | |
ecabf05e MC |
289 | no-cms |
290 | Don't build support for CMS features | |
d5957691 | 291 | |
ecabf05e MC |
292 | no-comp |
293 | Don't build support for SSL/TLS compression. If this option | |
294 | is left enabled (the default), then compression will only | |
295 | work if the zlib or zlib-dynamic options are also chosen. | |
d5957691 | 296 | |
ecabf05e MC |
297 | enable-crypto-mdebug |
298 | Build support for debugging memory allocated via | |
299 | OPENSSL_malloc() or OPENSSL_zalloc(). | |
300 | ||
301 | enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace | |
302 | As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace | |
303 | information for allocated memory. | |
8d054a55 RL |
304 | TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and |
305 | is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets. If | |
306 | your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the | |
307 | lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you. | |
308 | ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your | |
309 | system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs | |
310 | that do nothing. | |
ecabf05e MC |
311 | |
312 | no-ct | |
313 | Don't build support for Certificate Transparency. | |
314 | ||
315 | no-deprecated | |
316 | Don't build with support for any deprecated APIs. This is the | |
317 | same as using "--api" and supplying the latest version | |
318 | number. | |
319 | ||
320 | no-dgram | |
321 | Don't build support for datagram based BIOs. Selecting this | |
322 | option will also force the disabling of DTLS. | |
323 | ||
324 | no-dso | |
325 | Don't build support for loading Dynamic Shared Objects. | |
326 | ||
327 | no-dynamic-engine | |
328 | Don't build the dynamically loaded engines. This only has an | |
329 | effect in a "shared" build | |
330 | ||
331 | no-ec | |
332 | Don't build support for Elliptic Curves. | |
333 | ||
334 | no-ec2m | |
335 | Don't build support for binary Elliptic Curves | |
336 | ||
337 | enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128 | |
338 | Enable support for optimised implementations of some commonly | |
339 | used NIST elliptic curves. This is only supported on some | |
340 | platforms. | |
341 | ||
342 | enable-egd | |
343 | Build support for gathering entropy from EGD (Entropy | |
344 | Gathering Daemon). | |
345 | ||
346 | no-engine | |
347 | Don't build support for loading engines. | |
348 | ||
349 | no-err | |
350 | Don't compile in any error strings. | |
351 | ||
ce2596d4 MC |
352 | enable-external-tests |
353 | Enable building of integration with external test suites. | |
354 | This is a developer option and may not work on all platforms. | |
355 | The only supported external test suite at the current time is | |
5227337a MC |
356 | the BoringSSL test suite. See the file test/README.external |
357 | for further details. | |
ce2596d4 | 358 | |
ecabf05e MC |
359 | no-filenames |
360 | Don't compile in filename and line number information (e.g. | |
361 | for errors and memory allocation). | |
362 | ||
255af26c MC |
363 | enable-fuzz-libfuzzer, enable-fuzz-afl |
364 | Build with support for fuzzing using either libfuzzer or AFL. | |
365 | These are developer options only. They may not work on all | |
366 | platforms and should never be used in production environments. | |
367 | See the file fuzz/README.md for further details. | |
fa28bfd6 | 368 | |
ecabf05e MC |
369 | no-gost |
370 | Don't build support for GOST based ciphersuites. Note that | |
371 | if this feature is enabled then GOST ciphersuites are only | |
372 | available if the GOST algorithms are also available through | |
373 | loading an externally supplied engine. | |
374 | ||
ecabf05e MC |
375 | no-hw-padlock |
376 | Don't build the padlock engine. | |
377 | ||
378 | no-makedepend | |
05328815 | 379 | Don't generate dependencies. |
ecabf05e MC |
380 | |
381 | no-multiblock | |
382 | Don't build support for writing multiple records in one | |
383 | go in libssl (Note: this is a different capability to the | |
384 | pipelining functionality). | |
385 | ||
386 | no-nextprotoneg | |
387 | Don't build support for the NPN TLS extension. | |
388 | ||
389 | no-ocsp | |
390 | Don't build support for OCSP. | |
d5957691 | 391 | |
ecabf05e MC |
392 | no-pic |
393 | Don't build with support for Position Independent Code. | |
d5957691 | 394 | |
ecabf05e MC |
395 | no-posix-io |
396 | Don't use POSIX IO capabilities. | |
397 | ||
398 | no-psk | |
399 | Don't build support for Pre-Shared Key based ciphersuites. | |
400 | ||
401 | no-rdrand | |
402 | Don't use hardware RDRAND capabilities. | |
403 | ||
404 | no-rfc3779 | |
405 | Don't build support for RFC3779 ("X.509 Extensions for IP | |
406 | Addresses and AS Identifiers") | |
407 | ||
ecabf05e MC |
408 | sctp |
409 | Build support for SCTP | |
410 | ||
ce942199 MC |
411 | no-shared |
412 | Do not create shared libraries, only static ones. See "Note | |
413 | on shared libraries" below. | |
d5957691 | 414 | |
ecabf05e MC |
415 | no-sock |
416 | Don't build support for socket BIOs | |
d5957691 | 417 | |
ecabf05e MC |
418 | no-srp |
419 | Don't build support for SRP or SRP based ciphersuites. | |
420 | ||
421 | no-srtp | |
422 | Don't build SRTP support | |
d5957691 | 423 | |
ecabf05e | 424 | no-sse2 |
5ae5dc96 AP |
425 | Exclude SSE2 code paths from 32-bit x86 assembly modules. |
426 | Normally SSE2 extension is detected at run-time, but the | |
427 | decision whether or not the machine code will be executed | |
428 | is taken solely on CPU capability vector. This means that | |
429 | if you happen to run OS kernel which does not support SSE2 | |
430 | extension on Intel P4 processor, then your application | |
431 | might be exposed to "illegal instruction" exception. | |
432 | There might be a way to enable support in kernel, e.g. | |
433 | FreeBSD kernel can be compiled with CPU_ENABLE_SSE, and | |
434 | there is a way to disengage SSE2 code paths upon application | |
435 | start-up, but if you aim for wider "audience" running | |
436 | such kernel, consider no-sse2. Both the 386 and | |
437 | no-asm options imply no-sse2. | |
d5957691 | 438 | |
ecabf05e MC |
439 | enable-ssl-trace |
440 | Build with the SSL Trace capabilities (adds the "-trace" | |
441 | option to s_client and s_server). | |
442 | ||
443 | no-static-engine | |
444 | Don't build the statically linked engines. This only | |
445 | has an impact when not built "shared". | |
446 | ||
447 | no-stdio | |
219b4643 MC |
448 | Don't use anything from the C header file "stdio.h" that |
449 | makes use of the "FILE" type. Only libcrypto and libssl can | |
450 | be built in this way. Using this option will suppress | |

ecabf05e MC |
458 | no-threads |
459 | Don't try to build with support for multi-threaded | |
460 | applications. | |
461 | ||
462 | threads | |
463 | Build with support for multi-threaded applications. Most | |
464 | platforms will enable this by default. However if on a | |
465 | platform where this is not the case then this will usually | |
466 | require additional system-dependent options! See "Note on | |
467 | multi-threading" below. | |

469 | enable-tls13downgrade |
470 | TODO(TLS1.3): Make this enabled by default and remove the | |
471 | option when TLSv1.3 is out of draft | |
472 | TLSv1.3 offers a downgrade protection mechanism. This is | |
473 | implemented but disabled by default. It should not typically | |
474 | be enabled except for testing purposes. Otherwise this could | |
475 | cause problems if a pre-RFC version of OpenSSL talks to an | |
476 | RFC implementation (it will erroneously be detected as a | |
477 | downgrade). | |

fa28bfd6 | 482 | enable-ubsan |
f430ba31 | 483 | Build with the Undefined Behaviour sanitiser. This is a |
fa28bfd6 MC |
484 | developer option only. It may not work on all platforms and |
485 | should never be used in production environments. It will only | |
486 | work when used with gcc or clang and should be used in | |
487 | conjunction with the "-DPEDANTIC" option (or the | |
488 | --strict-warnings option). | |

514 | This doesn't affect code generated by compiler, you're | |
515 | likely to complement configuration command line with | |
516 | suitable compiler-specific option. | |

520 | protocol (one of ssl, ssl3, tls, tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2, |
521 | tls1_3, dtls, dtls1 or dtls1_2). If "no-tls" is selected then | |
522 | all of tls1, tls1_1, tls1_2 and tls1_3 are disabled. | |
523 | Similarly "no-dtls" will disable dtls1 and dtls1_2. The | |
524 | "no-ssl" option is synonymous with "no-ssl3". Note this only | |
525 | affects version negotiation. OpenSSL will still provide the | |
526 | methods for applications to explicitly select the individual | |
527 | protocol versions. | |

531 | applications to explicitly select individual protocol | |
f518cef4 MC |

533 | because there is no application method for TLSv1.3. Using | |
034d55cd | 534 | individual protocol methods directly is deprecated. |

5b18235a | 549 | -Dxxx, -Ixxx, -Wp, -lxxx, -Lxxx, -Wl, -rpath, -R, -framework, -static |
a74341f9 | 550 | These system specific options will be recognised and |
a3cb4cfc RL |
551 | passed through to the compiler to allow you to define |
552 | preprocessor symbols, specify additional libraries, library | |
553 | directories or other compiler options. It might be worth | |
554 | noting that some compilers generate code specifically for | |
555 | processor the compiler currently executes on. This is not | |
556 | necessarily what you might have in mind, since it might be | |
557 | unsuitable for execution on other, typically older, | |
558 | processor. Consult your compiler documentation. | |

80f27877 | 572 | Assignment of environment variable for Configure. These |
1786733e RL |

574 | but are supported on all platforms and are confined to | |
575 | the configuration scripts only. These assignments override | |
576 | the corresponding value in the inherited environment, if | |
577 | there is one. | |

579 | The following variables are used as "make variables" and |
580 | can be used as an alternative to giving preprocessor, | |
581 | compiler and linker options directly as configuration. | |
582 | The following variables are supported: | |
583 | ||
584 | AR The static library archiver. | |
585 | ARFLAGS Flags for the static library archiver. | |
586 | AS The assembler compiler. | |
587 | ASFLAGS Flags for the assembler compiler. | |
588 | CC The C compiler. | |
589 | CFLAGS Flags for the C compiler. | |
590 | CXX The C++ compiler. | |
591 | CXXFLAGS Flags for the C++ compiler. | |
592 | CPP The C/C++ preprocessor. | |
593 | CPPFLAGS Flags for the C/C++ preprocessor. | |
594 | CPPDEFINES List of CPP macro definitions, separated | |
595 | by a platform specific character (':' or | |
596 | space for Unix, ';' for Windows, ',' for | |
ec4c3891 RL |
597 | VMS). This can be used instead of using |
598 | -D (or what corresponds to that on your | |
599 | compiler) in CPPFLAGS. | |
5b18235a RL |
600 | CPPINCLUDES List of CPP inclusion directories, separated |
601 | the same way as for CPPDEFINES. This can | |
ec4c3891 RL |
602 | be used instead of -I (or what corresponds |
603 | to that on your compiler) in CPPFLAGS. | |
5b18235a | 604 | HASHBANGPERL Perl invocation to be inserted after '#!' |
ec4c3891 RL |
605 | in public perl scripts (only relevant on |
606 | Unix). | |
5b18235a RL |
607 | LD The program linker (not used on Unix, $(CC) |
608 | is used there). | |
609 | LDFLAGS Flags for the shared library, DSO and | |
610 | program linker. | |
611 | LDLIBS Extra libraries to use when linking. | |
612 | Takes the form of a space separated list | |
613 | of library specifications on Unix and | |
614 | Windows, and as a comma separated list of | |
615 | libraries on VMS. | |
616 | RANLIB The library archive indexer. | |
617 | RC The Windows resources manipulator. | |
618 | RCFLAGS Flags for the Windows reources manipulator. | |
619 | RM The command to remove files and directories. | |
620 | ||
b9201360 RL |
621 | These cannot be mixed with compiling / linking flags given |
622 | on the command line. In other words, something like this | |
623 | isn't permitted. | |
5b18235a RL |
624 | |
625 | ./config -DFOO CPPFLAGS=-DBAR -DCOOKIE | |
626 | ||
80f27877 RL |
627 | Backward compatibility note: |
628 | ||
629 | To be compatible with older configuration scripts, the | |
630 | environment variables are ignored if compiling / linking | |
631 | flags are given on the command line, except for these: | |
632 | ||
633 | AR, CC, CXX, CROSS_COMPILE, HASHBANGPERL, PERL, RANLIB, RC | |
634 | and WINDRES | |
635 | ||
636 | For example, the following command will not see -DBAR: | |
637 | ||
638 | CPPFLAGS=-DBAR ./config -DCOOKIE | |
639 | ||
640 | However, the following will see both set variables: | |
641 | ||
642 | CC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- \ | |
643 | ./config -DCOOKIE | |
644 | ||
e7a20669 RL |
645 | reconf |
646 | reconfigure | |
647 | Reconfigure from earlier data. This fetches the previous | |
648 | command line options and environment from data saved in | |
649 | "configdata.pm", and runs the configuration process again, | |
650 | using these options and environment. | |
651 | Note: NO other option is permitted together with "reconf". | |
652 | This means that you also MUST use "./Configure" (or | |
653 | what corresponds to that on non-Unix platforms) directly | |
654 | to invoke this option. | |
655 | Note: The original configuration saves away values for ALL | |
656 | environment variables that were used, and if they weren't | |
657 | defined, they are still saved away with information that | |
658 | they weren't originally defined. This information takes | |
659 | precedence over environment variables that are defined | |
660 | when reconfiguring. | |

917a1b2e RL |
662 | Displaying configuration data |
663 | ----------------------------- | |
664 | ||
665 | The configuration script itself will say very little, and finishes by | |
666 | creating "configdata.pm". This perl module can be loaded by other scripts | |
667 | to find all the configuration data, and it can also be used as a script to | |
668 | display all sorts of configuration data in a human readable form. | |
669 | ||
670 | For more information, please do: | |
671 | ||
672 | $ ./configdata.pm --help # Unix | |
673 | ||

4109b97c | 681 | 1a. Configure OpenSSL for your operation system automatically: |
c9f06e7f | 682 | |
b32b8961 RL |
683 | NOTE: This is not available on Windows. |
684 | ||
ea24fe29 | 685 | $ ./config [[ options ]] # Unix |

686 | |
687 | or | |
688 | ||
ea24fe29 | 689 | $ @config [[ options ]] ! OpenVMS |
2acd8ec7 RL |
690 | |
691 | For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all | |
692 | examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform. | |
c9f06e7f | 693 | |
4109b97c | 694 | This guesses at your operating system (and compiler, if necessary) and |
b1fe6b43 | 695 | configures OpenSSL based on this guess. Run ./config -t to see |
db209ec2 UM |
696 | if it guessed correctly. If you want to use a different compiler, you |
697 | are cross-compiling for another platform, or the ./config guess was | |
698 | wrong for other reasons, go to step 1b. Otherwise go to step 2. | |
c9f06e7f | 699 | |
b1fe6b43 UM |
700 | On some systems, you can include debugging information as follows: |

79e259e3 | 705 | |
4109b97c RE |
706 | OpenSSL knows about a range of different operating system, hardware and |
707 | compiler combinations. To see the ones it knows about, run | |
79e259e3 | 708 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
709 | $ ./Configure # Unix |
710 | ||
711 | or | |
712 | ||
713 | $ perl Configure # All other platforms | |
714 | ||
715 | For the remainder of this text, the Unix form will be used in all | |
716 | examples, please use the appropriate form for your platform. | |
79e259e3 | 717 | |
4109b97c RE |
718 | Pick a suitable name from the list that matches your system. For most |
719 | operating systems there is a choice between using "cc" or "gcc". When | |
720 | you have identified your system (and if necessary compiler) use this name | |
2acd8ec7 | 721 | as the argument to Configure. For example, a "linux-elf" user would |
4109b97c | 722 | run: |
79e259e3 | 723 | |
ea24fe29 | 724 | $ ./Configure linux-elf [[ options ]] |
79e259e3 | 725 | |
5bb9e2b4 | 726 | If your system isn't listed, you will have to create a configuration |
ea24fe29 | 727 | file named Configurations/{{ something }}.conf and add the correct |
5bb9e2b4 RL |
728 | configuration for your system. See the available configs as examples |
729 | and read Configurations/README and Configurations/README.design for | |
730 | more information. | |
79e259e3 | 731 | |
5bb9e2b4 RL |
732 | The generic configurations "cc" or "gcc" should usually work on 32 bit |
733 | Unix-like systems. | |
734 | ||
fa28bfd6 MC |
735 | Configure creates a build file ("Makefile" on Unix, "makefile" on Windows |
736 | and "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS) from a suitable template in Configurations, | |
737 | and defines various macros in include/openssl/opensslconf.h (generated from | |
738 | include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in). | |
79e259e3 | 739 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
740 | 1c. Configure OpenSSL for building outside of the source tree. |
741 | ||
742 | OpenSSL can be configured to build in a build directory separate from | |
743 | the directory with the source code. It's done by placing yourself in | |
744 | some other directory and invoking the configuration commands from | |
745 | there. | |
746 | ||
747 | Unix example: | |
748 | ||
749 | $ mkdir /var/tmp/openssl-build | |
750 | $ cd /var/tmp/openssl-build | |
ea24fe29 | 751 | $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/config [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 RL |
752 | |
753 | or | |
754 | ||
ea24fe29 | 755 | $ /PATH/TO/OPENSSL/SOURCE/Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 RL |
756 | |
757 | OpenVMS example: | |
758 | ||
759 | $ set default sys$login: | |
760 | $ create/dir [.tmp.openssl-build] | |
761 | $ set default [.tmp.openssl-build] | |
ea24fe29 | 762 | $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]config [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 RL |
763 | |
764 | or | |
765 | ||
ea24fe29 | 766 | $ @[PATH.TO.OPENSSL.SOURCE]Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]] |
2acd8ec7 | 767 | |
b32b8961 RL |
768 | Windows example: |
769 | ||
770 | $ C: | |
771 | $ mkdir \temp-openssl | |
772 | $ cd \temp-openssl | |
ea24fe29 | 773 | $ perl d:\PATH\TO\OPENSSL\SOURCE\Configure {{ target }} [[ options ]] |
b32b8961 | 774 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
775 | Paths can be relative just as well as absolute. Configure will |
776 | do its best to translate them to relative paths whenever possible. | |
777 | ||
462ba4f6 | 778 | 2. Build OpenSSL by running: |
79e259e3 | 779 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
780 | $ make # Unix |
781 | $ mms ! (or mmk) OpenVMS | |
b32b8961 | 782 | $ nmake # Windows |
79e259e3 | 783 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
784 | This will build the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto.a and libssl.a on |
785 | Unix, corresponding on other platforms) and the OpenSSL binary | |
786 | ("openssl"). The libraries will be built in the top-level directory, | |
787 | and the binary will be in the "apps" subdirectory. | |
79e259e3 | 788 | |
1af66bb7 | 789 | Troubleshooting: |
790 | ||
1e62cc12 RS |
791 | If the build fails, look at the output. There may be reasons |
792 | for the failure that aren't problems in OpenSSL itself (like | |
1af66bb7 | 793 | missing standard headers). |
794 | ||
795 | If the build succeeded previously, but fails after a source or | |
796 | configuration change, it might be helpful to clean the build tree | |
797 | before attempting another build. Use this command: | |
798 | ||
799 | $ make clean # Unix | |
800 | $ mms clean ! (or mmk) OpenVMS | |
801 | $ nmake clean # Windows | |
802 | ||
803 | Assembler error messages can sometimes be sidestepped by using the | |
804 | "no-asm" configuration option. | |
805 | ||
806 | Compiling parts of OpenSSL with gcc and others with the system | |
807 | compiler will result in unresolved symbols on some systems. | |
808 | ||
809 | If you are still having problems you can get help by sending an email | |
810 | to the openssl-users email list (see | |
1e62cc12 RS |
811 | https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for details). If |
812 | it is a bug with OpenSSL itself, please open an issue on GitHub, at | |
813 | https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues. Please review the existing | |
814 | ones first; maybe the bug was already reported or has already been | |
d5957691 | 815 | fixed. |
b1fe6b43 | 816 | |
462ba4f6 | 817 | 3. After a successful build, the libraries should be tested. Run: |
79e259e3 | 818 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
819 | $ make test # Unix |
820 | $ mms test ! OpenVMS | |
b32b8961 | 821 | $ nmake test # Windows |
79e259e3 | 822 | |
6616429d | 823 | NOTE: you MUST run the tests from an unprivileged account (or |
f430ba31 | 824 | disable your privileges temporarily if your platform allows it). |
6616429d | 825 | |
2e996acf RL |
826 | If some tests fail, look at the output. There may be reasons for |
827 | the failure that isn't a problem in OpenSSL itself (like a | |
828 | malfunction with Perl). You may want increased verbosity, that | |
829 | can be accomplished like this: | |
830 | ||
be6bdab6 | 831 | $ make VERBOSE=1 test # Unix |
2acd8ec7 | 832 | |
e8173157 | 833 | $ mms /macro=(VERBOSE=1) test ! OpenVMS |
2e996acf | 834 | |
be6bdab6 | 835 | $ nmake VERBOSE=1 test # Windows |
b32b8961 | 836 | |
2e996acf RL |
837 | If you want to run just one or a few specific tests, you can use |
838 | the make variable TESTS to specify them, like this: | |
839 | ||
2acd8ec7 RL |
840 | $ make TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Unix |
841 | $ mms/macro="TESTS=test_rsa test_dsa" test ! OpenVMS | |
b32b8961 | 842 | $ nmake TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test # Windows |
2e996acf | 843 | |
2acd8ec7 | 844 | And of course, you can combine (Unix example shown): |
a73d990e | 845 | |
be6bdab6 | 846 | $ make VERBOSE=1 TESTS='test_rsa test_dsa' test |
2e996acf RL |
847 | |
848 | You can find the list of available tests like this: | |
849 | ||
2acd8ec7 | 850 | $ make list-tests # Unix |
5bb9e2b4 | 851 | $ mms list-tests ! OpenVMS |
b32b8961 | 852 | $ nmake list-tests # Windows |
2e996acf | 853 | |
d40b0622 RL |
854 | Have a look at the manual for the perl module Test::Harness to |
855 | see what other HARNESS_* variables there are. | |
856 | ||
2e996acf | 857 | If you find a problem with OpenSSL itself, try removing any |
2acd8ec7 RL |
858 | compiler optimization flags from the CFLAGS line in Makefile and |
859 | run "make clean; make" or corresponding. | |

4fd53220 BM |
941 | |
942 | * COMPILING existing applications | |
943 | ||
fa28bfd6 | 944 | OpenSSL 1.1.0 hides a number of structures that were previously |
2acd8ec7 RL |
945 | open. This includes all internal libssl structures and a number |
946 | of EVP types. Accessor functions have been added to allow | |
947 | controlled access to the structures' data. | |
4fd53220 | 948 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
949 | This means that some software needs to be rewritten to adapt to |
950 | the new ways of doing things. This often amounts to allocating | |
951 | an instance of a structure explicitly where you could previously | |
952 | allocate them on the stack as automatic variables, and using the | |
953 | provided accessor functions where you would previously access a | |
954 | structure's field directly. | |
4fd53220 | 955 | |
2acd8ec7 RL |
956 | Some APIs have changed as well. However, older APIs have been |
957 | preserved when possible. | |

959 | Environment Variables |
960 | --------------------- | |
961 | ||
962 | A number of environment variables can be used to provide additional control | |
963 | over the build process. Typically these should be defined prior to running | |
964 | config or Configure. Not all environment variables are relevant to all | |
965 | platforms. | |
966 | ||
967 | AR | |
968 | The name of the ar executable to use. | |
969 | ||
ed43fe73 RL |
970 | BUILDFILE |
971 | Use a different build file name than the platform default | |
972 | ("Makefile" on Unixly platforms, "makefile" on native Windows, | |
973 | "descrip.mms" on OpenVMS). This requires that there is a | |
974 | corresponding build file template. See Configurations/README | |
975 | for further information. | |
976 | ||
fa28bfd6 MC |
977 | CC |
978 | The compiler to use. Configure will attempt to pick a default | |
979 | compiler for your platform but this choice can be overridden | |
980 | using this variable. Set it to the compiler executable you wish | |
981 | to use, e.g. "gcc" or "clang". | |
982 | ||
983 | CROSS_COMPILE | |
984 | This environment variable has the same meaning as for the | |
985 | "--cross-compile-prefix" Configure flag described above. If both | |
986 | are set then the Configure flag takes precedence. | |
987 | ||
988 | NM | |
989 | The name of the nm executable to use. | |
990 | ||
991 | OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR | |
992 | OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it | |
bf98d9da RL |
993 | should be built on different platforms as well as build file |
994 | templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of | |
995 | ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. The build | |
996 | file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the | |
fa28bfd6 | 997 | file Configurations/README for further information about the |
bf98d9da RL |
998 | format of ".conf" files as well as information on the ".tmpl" |
999 | files. | |
1000 | In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is | |
1001 | possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store | |
1002 | them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment | |
1003 | variable can be set to the directory where these files are held | |
b509b6d7 BK |
1004 | and will be considered by Configure before it looks in the |
1005 | standard directories. | |
fa28bfd6 MC |
1006 | |
1007 | PERL | |
d513369b | 1008 | The name of the Perl executable to use when building OpenSSL. |
758baa3d AP |
1009 | This variable is used in config script only. Configure on the |
1010 | other hand imposes the interpreter by which it itself was | |
1011 | executed on the whole build procedure. | |
d513369b RL |
1012 | |
1013 | HASHBANGPERL | |
1014 | The command string for the Perl executable to insert in the | |
1015 | #! line of perl scripts that will be publically installed. | |
1016 | Default: /usr/bin/env perl | |
1017 | Note: the value of this variable is added to the same scripts | |
1018 | on all platforms, but it's only relevant on Unix-like platforms. | |
fa28bfd6 MC |
1019 | |
1020 | RC | |
1021 | The name of the rc executable to use. The default will be as | |
1022 | defined for the target platform in the ".conf" file. If not | |
1023 | defined then "windres" will be used. The WINDRES environment | |
1024 | variable is synonymous to this. If both are defined then RC | |
1025 | takes precedence. | |
1026 | ||
1027 | RANLIB | |
1028 | The name of the ranlib executable to use. | |
1029 | ||
1030 | WINDRES | |
1031 | See RC. | |
1032 | ||
1033 | Makefile targets | |
1034 | ---------------- | |
1035 | ||
1036 | The Configure script generates a Makefile in a format relevant to the specific | |
1037 | platform. The Makefiles provide a number of targets that can be used. Not all | |
1038 | targets may be available on all platforms. Only the most common targets are | |
1039 | described here. Examine the Makefiles themselves for the full list. | |
1040 | ||
1041 | all | |
1042 | The default target to build all the software components. | |
1043 | ||
1044 | clean | |
1045 | Remove all build artefacts and return the directory to a "clean" | |
1046 | state. | |
1047 | ||
1048 | depend | |
1049 | Rebuild the dependencies in the Makefiles. This is a legacy | |
1050 | option that no longer needs to be used in OpenSSL 1.1.0. | |
1051 | ||
1052 | install | |
1053 | Install all OpenSSL components. | |
1054 | ||
1055 | install_sw | |
1056 | Only install the OpenSSL software components. | |
1057 | ||
1058 | install_docs | |
1059 | Only install the OpenSSL documentation components. | |
1060 | ||
1061 | install_man_docs | |
1062 | Only install the OpenSSL man pages (Unix only). | |
1063 | ||
1064 | install_html_docs | |
1065 | Only install the OpenSSL html documentation. | |
1066 | ||
1067 | list-tests | |
1068 | Prints a list of all the self test names. | |
1069 | ||
1070 | test | |
1071 | Build and run the OpenSSL self tests. | |
1072 | ||
1073 | uninstall | |
1074 | Uninstall all OpenSSL components. | |
1075 | ||
bf01fbbf RL |
1076 | reconfigure |
1077 | reconf | |
1078 | Re-run the configuration process, as exactly as the last time | |
1079 | as possible. | |
1080 | ||
fa28bfd6 MC |
1081 | update |
1082 | This is a developer option. If you are developing a patch for | |
1083 | OpenSSL you may need to use this if you want to update | |
1084 | automatically generated files; add new error codes or add new | |
1085 | (or change the visibility of) public API functions. (Unix only). | |

1087 | TESTS in Detail |
1088 | --------------- | |
1089 | ||
1090 | The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens | |
1091 | with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed. With a "current | |
1092 | set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens: | |
1093 | ||
1094 | alltests The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available | |
1095 | tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar). | |
1096 | xxx Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests. | |
1097 | -xxx Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests. If this is the | |
1098 | first token in the list, the current set of tests is first | |
1099 | assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making | |
d0631327 RL |
1100 | this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx". |
1101 | nn Adds the test group 'nn' (which is a number) to the current | |
1102 | set of tests. | |
1103 | -nn Removes the test group 'nn' from the current set of tests. | |
1104 | If this is the first token in the list, the current set of | |
1105 | tests is first assigned the whole set of available tests, | |
1106 | effectively making this token equivalent to | |
1107 | TESTS="alltests -xxx". | |
b3e718e2 RL |
1108 | |
1109 | Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *. | |
1110 | (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS, | |
1111 | it's VMS style wildcards) | |
1112 | ||
1113 | Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests: | |
1114 | ||
1115 | $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test | |
1116 | ||
1117 | or (if you want to be explicit) | |
1118 | ||
1119 | $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test | |
1120 | ||
1121 | Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those | |
1122 | starting with "test_ssl_": | |
1123 | ||
1124 | $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test | |
1125 | ||
d0631327 RL |
1126 | Example: Only test group 10: |
1127 | ||
1128 | $ make TESTS='10' | |
1129 | ||
1130 | Example: All tests except the slow group (group 99): | |
1131 | ||
1132 | $ make TESTS='-99' | |
1133 | ||
1134 | Example: All tests in test groups 80 to 99 except for tests in group 90: | |
1135 | ||
1136 | $ make TESTS='[89]? -90' | |

1138 | Note on multi-threading |
1139 | ----------------------- | |
1140 | ||
1141 | For some systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what compiler options | |
1142 | are needed to generate a library that is suitable for multi-threaded | |
1143 | applications. On these systems, support for multi-threading is enabled | |
1144 | by default; use the "no-threads" option to disable (this should never be | |
1145 | necessary). | |
1146 | ||
1147 | On other systems, to enable support for multi-threading, you will have | |
33d50ef6 | 1148 | to specify at least two options: "threads", and a system-dependent option. |
5f8d5c96 BM |
1149 | (The latter is "-D_REENTRANT" on various systems.) The default in this |
1150 | case, obviously, is not to include support for multi-threading (but | |
1151 | you can still use "no-threads" to suppress an annoying warning message | |
1152 | from the Configure script.) | |
1153 | ||
35d8fa56 | 1154 | OpenSSL provides built-in support for two threading models: pthreads (found on |
8b75603c MC |
1155 | most UNIX/Linux systems), and Windows threads. No other threading models are |
1156 | supported. If your platform does not provide pthreads or Windows threads then | |
1157 | you should Configure with the "no-threads" option. | |

1159 | Notes on shared libraries |
1160 | ------------------------- | |
fcc6a1c4 | 1161 | |
ce942199 MC |
1162 | For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to |
1163 | build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems | |
1164 | the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and | |
1165 | only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems | |
1166 | where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared" | |
1167 | option will be forced and only static libraries will be created. | |
96c930dd | 1168 | |
4fa3f08f RL |
1169 | Shared libraries are named a little differently on different platforms. |
1170 | One way or another, they all have the major OpenSSL version number as | |
1171 | part of the file name, i.e. for OpenSSL 1.1.x, 1.1 is somehow part of | |
1172 | the name. | |
1173 | ||
1174 | On most POSIXly platforms, shared libraries are named libcrypto.so.1.1 | |
1175 | and libssl.so.1.1. | |
1176 | ||
1177 | on Cygwin, shared libraries are named cygcrypto-1.1.dll and cygssl-1.1.dll | |
1178 | with import libraries libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a. | |
1179 | ||
1180 | On Windows build with MSVC or using MingW, shared libraries are named | |
1181 | libcrypto-1_1.dll and libssl-1_1.dll for 32-bit Windows, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll | |
1182 | and libssl-1_1-x64.dll for 64-bit x86_64 Windows, and libcrypto-1_1-ia64.dll | |
1183 | and libssl-1_1-ia64.dll for IA64 Windows. With MSVC, the import libraries | |
1184 | are named libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib, while with MingW, they are named | |
b77b6127 | 1185 | libcrypto.dll.a and libssl.dll.a. |
4fa3f08f RL |
1186 | |
1187 | On VMS, shareable images (VMS speak for shared libraries) are named | |
1188 | ossl$libcrypto0101_shr.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr.exe. However, when | |
1189 | OpenSSL is specifically built for 32-bit pointers, the shareable images | |
1190 | are named ossl$libcrypto0101_shr32.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr32.exe | |
1191 | instead, and when built for 64-bit pointers, they are named | |
1192 | ossl$libcrypto0101_shr64.exe and ossl$libssl0101_shr64.exe. | |
1193 | ||
96c930dd LJ |
1194 | Note on random number generation |
1195 | -------------------------------- | |
1196 | ||
1197 | Availability of cryptographically secure random numbers is required for | |
1198 | secret key generation. OpenSSL provides several options to seed the | |
a73d990e | 1199 | internal CSPRNG. If not properly seeded, the internal CSPRNG will refuse |
96c930dd | 1200 | to deliver random bytes and a "PRNG not seeded error" will occur. |
4a9476dd | 1201 | |
a73d990e DMSP |
1202 | The seeding method can be configured using the --with-rand-seed option, |
1203 | which can be used to specify a comma separated list of seed methods. | |
1204 | However in most cases OpenSSL will choose a suitable default method, | |
1205 | so it is not necessary to explicitely provide this option. Note also | |
1206 | that not all methods are available on all platforms. | |
1207 | ||
1208 | I) On operating systems which provide a suitable randomness source (in | |
1209 | form of a system call or system device), OpenSSL will use the optimal | |
1210 | available method to seed the CSPRNG from the operating system's | |
1211 | randomness sources. This corresponds to the option --with-rand-seed=os. | |
1212 | ||
1213 | II) On systems without such a suitable randomness source, automatic seeding | |
1214 | and reseeding is disabled (--with-rand-seed=none) and it may be necessary | |
1215 | to install additional support software to obtain a random seed and reseed | |
1216 | the CSPRNG manually. Please check out the manual pages for RAND_add(), | |
1217 | RAND_bytes(), RAND_egd(), and the FAQ for more information. |
